The Telegraph says that Israel is pleased with the bill agreed earlier this week between the US Senate and the White House, which will give Congress 30 days to review and respond to any final accord agreed between Iran and the P5+1 powers (US, UK, France, Russia, China and Germany) over Tehran’s nuclear capability. Israel’s Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz is quoted saying that the bill is an “achievement for Israeli policy.”

In the Independent and Independent i, David Usborne provides an examination of the bill and predicts that in the end, Congress will not be overly-obstructive towards a final agreement.

The online editions of the Guardian and Times both cover comments made by Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani in a televised speech yesterday, during which he brushed off the importance of the Senate bill, emphasising that Iran is not negotiating with Congress. He also made clear that, “If there is no end to sanctions, there will not be an agreement.”

Both the Guardian online and the Telegraph online report that the Israeli ultra-Orthodox publication Kikar Hashabbat covered this week’s visit to Jerusalem by celebrities Kim Kardashian and husband Kanye West, but omitted all images of Kardashian.

In the Israeli media, all dailies focus on Holocaust Memorial Day, which is being commemorated today in Israel. It is the top story in Maariv, Yediot Ahronot which focuses on the plight of Holocaust survivors and in Israel Hayom, which highlights comments made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the central state ceremony last night, in which he said Israel is not afraid to stand alone in the face of threats. Most dailies devote several pages to today’s commemorations and the personal stories of survivors.

Haaretz prominently reports a serious incident in Jerusalem last night, when a Palestinian man crashed his car into a bus stop in the Ramat Eshkol neighbourhood. A man and a woman were seriously injured as they waited for a bus and Israel Radio news reports this morning that one of them has died. Police are carrying out an investigation and it remains unclear whether the incident was a terrorist attack or not. During the past several months, Palestinian terrorists have on several occasions deliberately ploughed vehicles into waiting commuters in Jerusalem.

Yediot Ahronot says that a new tunnel detection system has been developed by Israel defence companies and successfully tested. During last summer’s Operation Protective Edge, Hamas routinely used sophisticated tunnels to attack Israelis and to evade capture.

Meanwhile, Maariv reports comments by a high-ranking Air Force officer, who said that preparations have already been made to cope with Russia’s sale of advanced S-300 anti-aircraft missiles to Iran. The sale was announced earlier this week.
